China-Russia Wide Body is win win for both.

Agreed. Too bad India did not get involved first in one. China has been having trouble selling their aircrafts (including their Comac jets) and this would guarentee sale to both Russia and China (who both need a wide body jet) as well as cost Russia less for building a wide body jet alone.

India does not have any expertise in Civil Aircraft Development ..China does have significant capability there , Ofcourse when they build a wide body aircraft they can sell to India and other countries in the world.

Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov spoke at the Government Hour in the State Duma, during which summarized the preliminary results of the Ministry in 2013 and spoke about the achievements and initiatives aimed at comprehensive development of Russian industry.

In 2013, the highest growth was demonstrated by radio-electronic industry, defense industry, pharmaceuticals and aeronautics. Positive dynamics observed in some segments of the light industry, chemical industry and other industries.

AERONAUTICS

Significant growth was recorded in the aircraft industry. Radically changing the situation in the civil aircraft sector, where over the last year production volume increased by 60%.

As planned, soared 25 Superjet - 2 times more than in 2012. That is already in the third year of serial production, he took more than 20% of the global market for regional aircraft turbojet dimension 90-110 seats.

This year we plan to produce more than 40 aircraft. Due to the fact that this car has received international certification, opened access to the world market - has already begun delivery of the first aircraft to Indonesia, Laos, Mexico.

In 2013, the Ministry of Industry sent 2 billion rubles to subsidize interest on loans for the purchase of leasing companies aircraft that pass into operation by Russian companies. This mechanism provides substantial support for the production and domestic sales of domestic aircraft. This measure has proven its effectiveness and has been extended for subsequent years.

In addition to sales promotion, the biggest challenge in aviation is to ensure technological leadership. It aims to solve created National Research Center. Zhukovsky , which will connect the capacity of key research institutes specializing in aerodynamics and stability, propulsion and trials. This will ensure a high controllability in aviation science sector, will provide a concentration of resources on the creation of scientific and technological potential, especially in the critical and breakthrough technologies.

SIC opportunities Zhukovsky allow it to become a powerful center of the design, which will provide engineering services to create innovative engineering designs. Draft federal laws on the National Research Centre and changes to some legislative acts submitted to the State Duma.

AUTOMOBILE PRODUCTION

Thanks to the timely running program of preferential car loan failed to support the demand for cars produced in Russia and light commercial vehicles.

Total program was granted more than 260,000 loans. It is more than 20% higher than the initial forecast. Prior to 2016 the overall cost of the program will amount to 8 billion rubles. However, only in 2013 the federal budget revenues in the form of VAT and excise duties with cars sold exceeded 22.5 billion rubles.

This year is supposed to focus on the support of a segment of commercial vehicles, which in 2013 showed a decrease. It is planned to develop and launch incentives for the purchase of trucks and buses to natural gas. This will contribute to increased production of these types of transport, and processing of hydrocarbon raw materials domestically. And, most importantly, improve the ecological situation in the city.

COMPOSITES

The Government has also approved the roadmap and subroutine Composites.

In this industry, along with new capacities created and new products. Already have the first results. On Srednenevsky shipyard built passenger catamaran. "Uralvagonzavod" first presented at the Salon International engineering and technology "EXPO 1520" is unparalleled composite hopper car. Group of companies "Ruskompozit" Bashkortostan built the first footbridge made of composites. Running two plants "United Aircraft Corporation" in Ulyanovsk and Kazan, which will ensure the release of composite airframe components and aircraft wing for MS-21 and Superjet.

Starting this year, plans to increase the volume of production and consumption composite industry - not less than 25% per year. Already last year the increase in production was more than 20%.

RARE EARTH METALS

Since last year, the subroutine is implemented on rare-earth metals , which are fully secured financial resources.

For the development of competencies in the development of drugs and medical devices of new generation investment projects financed by the Ministry to establish a science and technology, innovation centers and pilot plants based on industry-leading universities. Now in the 8 projects that are in major cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Volgograd).

Substantial support domestic manufacturers in pharmaceuticals through the state order. For example, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Health developed and orders a draft decree on which preferences in procurement of medicines to the needs of state and municipal institutions are set depending on the degree of localization of production. Given the fact that the state order is the third part of the market - it is a very effective measure contributing to the development of domestic capacities and enabling foreign companies to move to full production cycle in Russia.

ROBOTICS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY

In 2014, the Ministry also plans to start work in promising segments such as robotics and biotechnology.

According to Denis Manturov has already been prepared by the subroutine "Industrial Biotechnology", which will be part of the state program "Development of the industry and increase its competitiveness."

INDUSTRY AND TRADE INITIATIVE

Head of Industry and Trade told about Insturment aimed at complex impact of industrial development in general.

In particular, in order to support the creation of new industries developed by the Ministry of Industry approved the subsidy mechanism of the new integrated high-investment projects in priority areas of the industry. And grant will cover nine tenths of the refinancing rate and per ruble of budget investments will be attracted over 10 rubles of private investments. This mechanism provides 2 billion over the next two years.

Additional support for such projects will also be provided in the form of subsidies for R & D, which allocated more than 5 billion rubles for 3-year period. But her condition would be an obligation to provide the recipient to produce a certain amount of products. Thus, the reliability and the commercialization of new developments efficiency of budgetary funds.

The Minister noted the importance of implementing the mechanism of tax incentives that will help accelerate the development of new enterprises and the growth of the industry as a whole.

Under discussion with the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development is the question of subsidizing the creation of industrial infrastructure of industrial parks.

One of the main initiatives promoted by the Ministry of Industry - the creation of new engineering centers on the basis of technical universities in the country, which should provide a transfer of modern technologies in production. The Ministry had prepared a subroutine in this direction with the financing of more than 5 billion rubles for the next 5 years. Already initiated 12 new centers.

Denis Manturov said that in the first half of 2014 to the President received a bill "On industrial policy," in which the mechanisms and measures of state support for the industry will be linked into a single, efficient system. The law should coordinate the actions of all levels of executive and local authorities aimed at the development of industry in general and the creation of new industries in the regions.

16 bin $ out of nearly 50 bin $ planned so only first piece of puzzle revealed

Russia will play a major role in the Pan-Asian/Eurasian fast rail network, Russia's Trans-Siberian fast rail is set to be finished by 2018, before the World Cup, this is all possible with the backing of Beijing:

Russian cities that want to develop their public transit systems will soon have a stellar option to buy. A sleek new black streetcar looks like something Darth Vader would pilot in Star Wars and promises new levels of comfort and safety to commuters.

The R1, or Russia One, was developed by a subsidiary of Uralvagonzavod, a company best known for producing advanced Russian tanks. The prototype streetcar, or tram, is to be revealed to the public on Wednesday at the Innoprom-2014 tech expo, but the producer offered a sneak peak to Russian bloggers one day ahead.

Unlike many foreign tram producers, the Russians favored angles and facets over curves. The R1 looks somewhat block-like, closer to Battlestar Gallactica than the Starship Enterprise. But thanks to black composite glass panels, red elongated lights and silver lines, the tram resembles a huge modern smartphone. Some of the designers dubbed it “an iPhone on rails.”

The interior is meant to be both comfortable and durable. The designers sacrificed the number of seats, leaving only 28 per car, for making those seats cozy and giving more space to standing passengers.

Several features will help using R1 in some of the harsher climatic regions of Russia. Grooved aluminum stepping boards will have built-in electric heaters utilizing energy recuperated during breaking to prevent icing in wintertime. The outer glass panels have special fitting for swift replacement. Electric batteries allow a tram cut from power lines to travel a further 50km autonomously.

Blogger Ivan Solomin, who is a tram driver himself and was among those invited to test the prototype, has doubts about rear-view cameras that substitute side mirrors at R1. He believes they may not give an adequate rear view to the driver, lacking proper depth perception. But he also praised the driver cabin windows for giving a good direct view – about 10 to 15 percent better than tram models currently used in Russia, he assessed.

The producer estimates that the series version of the tram will cost around 1 million euro and will have few changes compared to the prototype on display. A pilot project to introduce R1 to Russian streets will be launched in Ekaterinburg, Urals Region. The tram is promised to roll out en mass by 2017, when Russia is to host FIFA World Cup.
